  • Chose my B.Tech course and college with purpose. Fueled by childhood curiosity for how things work, I committed to Mechanical Design & Manufacturing from the first round, prioritizing passion over prestige (even though I could have pursued an NIT).

  • Explored the intersection of design, manufacturing, and innovation, building a strong foundation in product development.

  • Became a core member of the Robotics Club, leading hands-on projects and workshops that merged mechanics, electronics, and coding.

  • Designed and built an Automatic Hot Sandwich Maker / Vending Machine as a solo project, handling the complete mechanical, electronics, and coding aspects independently.

  • Strengthened a passion for integrated product development, blending creativity, design, technology, and real-world impact.

  • During college:

    • 🥇 Swachh Bharat 3D Design Challenge (Autodesk, 2016)

    • 🥇 Robotics Competition – Chamber of Secrets, IIITDM (2017)

    • 🥈 Mechanical Design Challenge – Hydraulic Mechanism (2017)

    • 🏅 Top 30 Global – Autodesk 3D Design Monthly Challenge (Bracelet Design, 2017)
